Hi all,

the DL based Ruby wrapper for shared DRMAA C bindings and samples how  
have an own home page and CVS repository under

```
http://drmaa4ruby.sunsource.net/

```

DRMAA is an interface standard for job submission and control to  
Distributed  
Resource Manager (DRM) systems such as Condor, PBS/OpenPBS/Torque,  
Platform LSF, Sun’s N1 Grid Engine and others. Please see

```
http://www.drmaa.org
http://www.drmaa.org/wiki

```

for more detailed information about DRMAA itself, available  
implementations,  
language bindings etc.

The binding requires Ruby/DL module as available in Ruby 1.8.4 and a DRM  
with shared DRMAA library v0.95 or higher. If both is given the binding  
should  
work if:

```
 * libdrmaa.so is found by dynamic linker (LD_LIBRARY_PATH)
 * drmaa.rb is found by ruby interpreter

```

Feedback and participation is highly welcome!

Best regards,  
Andreas

PS: Thanks go to Ara for helping me out with the Ruby/DL parameter issue  
and big kudos to those who created the DL module itself!

I’m glad you explained that.

Looking at “DRMAA,” all I could think of was “DRM” and “RIAA.”
